Hi everybody,
Recently I've purchased new GS7 EDGE and I put in it my micro-SD card that I had in my GS5.
I've encountered a really annoying problem that I cannot delete files, especially movies or series, that I've copied to my SD card to view those series\movies. When I tried to delete it through my phone (My Files) it says that I cannot delete these items. I tried to connect the phone to PC and delete it through PC but that didn't work too. Only when I've removed my SD card and put it in my PC directly (with an adapter), that I've succeeded to delete those files from the SD card. Obviously this is not a solution as I use my SD card a lot to view series and I cannot remove the SD card every time from my phone. I had GS5 and GS3 and didn't have any issues with the SD card. This is the first time it happens to me. Any suggestions are welcome.
Another issue, though I don't know if it belongs to here but I'll ask anyway, is with my Sony SW2 smart-watch. I've installed the desired programs, but the phone and the SW2 do not connect together. It work just fine with my GS5. Again, any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
liavl

Hi all,
I have searched hi and low for the resolution to my problem. I have owned a Magician (sold as Xda II Mini) for just under a year and have a 1Gb SD card (eagletec turbo 66x speed) which has worked beautifully until two days ago
File explorer does not recognise the SD card. I have tried the SD card in other devices (e.g. PC - using a card reader, digital camera, dvd player, my friend's pda etc...) and it works fine.
I have tried inserting different SD cards into the Magician and they all get recognised ok.
I have tried soft reset and hard reset to no avail.
I have formatted the SD card using a card reader on the PC (tried both FAT and FAT32) and also tried formatting it in my digital camera.
When I insert the card into the Magician (from power off state), the Magician does light up indicating to me that there is no problem with the spring load mechanism of the expansion slot. What is strange is that when I go to Settings->System->About, I get 'Expansion Slot: Not in use'
I also tried (after a suggestion in another post) to add a "shim" of plastic of paper on the contact side of the SD card. No use.
I am reluctant to flash the ROM as I have not had any other problems with the Magician to warrant it.
Any ideas?
Have you tried cleaning the contacts of the SD card? Try soft resetting with the SD card in it.
Hi thanks for replying.
Yes I have cleaned the contacts of the SD card and also tried many soft resets with the card in and also with the card out.

Hello,
Try formatting your card with a different reader or from a Nikia phone.
Regards
Carty..
I have tried formating the card in several card readers. Still not being recognised is file explorer. Again, the card does work in any other device I put it in - just not my mini
Anyhow, I'll just use a different card for now. Just wondered if any other people had the same issue as I do.
Thanks all.
for me the same **** happened with my new, exchanged, mdac. using the sd card with the previous machine was no problem, now the card is not being recognized at all. using it in notebook, camera ... no problem.
any ideas?
i dont want to start another thread but im having the exact same problem with my MDA Compact II. I have a 1gb Toshiba SD card that wont even work in the MDA but it works fine on my camera and PC. So I would like ot know if there is a solution to this
Thanks
Hi all
I am a newbie and am experiencing the same issue, external sd card not showing up in file explorer.
Sniffer can find it and I can play media files from there. Is this the norm or do I need to change something?
I am using C&C 1.5ghz Froyo Combo VERSION 8 final.
The 16GB card is seen by all other card readers I have tried.
If i want to paste a file in my hd 2 memory card a massege sys : The device has either stopped rsponding or has been disconnected, but if i conncet the memory card to my laptop directly it works normaly. Is there any help please?
weird, my digital camera gave me the same exact problem yesterday while trying to create a folder inside the internal sd card.
Try and connect the device in usb disk mode instead of activesync
I tried it on both but it's the same problem, I formated the memory card and I inserted a new sd card and the problem still, any help please?
Hard Reset
I made hard reset but the problem is still, any help please?
I've had this same problem with different MicroSD HC cards (2x16gb, 1x32gb). I posted a question about it a while ago, and the general consensus was that they were probably fake cards (which is a possibility seeing as I got them off eBay).
I tried soft/hard resets, different ROMs, Active Sync/File Transfer connection modes and nothing worked... it mainly happened when I was trying to copy music. In the end, one of 16gb cards accepted enough of my files for me to get by, so I'm just gonna save up and go fork out for a legit MicroSD card from an electronics store somewhere. Might be the only option.
Google h2testw, that will help figure out if it's a real or a fake card. Good luck.
I could solve the problem by installing another browser and re-download the cabs, and it works perfectly thanks.
Sorry guys, I am traveling right now and my wife needs a bit of help.
She took her SD card out of her Rezound and put it in the S5. She is trying to figure out where everything is stored as when you look at the SD card (when its plugged into the PC) its not showing all of her files?
Basically she needs to move music over and when the SD card is in she cant find anything on the phone. Is there a new format that needs to be used or does anyone know why she wouldnt be able to view the entire contents of her SD card while the S5 is plugged into the PC?
bump... I am having this exact same issue.

KitKat changed how apps can access the external SD card so if you just swap a card into a KK device you will probably not be able to access all existing app files with same apps you had on the old device. When you plug it in to the PC however I'd expect that you can see everything (unless some files are hidden for some reason). So maybe her music was on the 16GB internal storage of the Rezound?
File transfer is fast on USB 3.0 so just format the card through the new phone (Settings> Storage> Format SD card) and transfer it back over. I usually create a "Music" folder in the root of the SD card and dump whatever right in when it connected to PC... I just did this on my S5 a few minutes ago and the phone saw the music when I started the Music app.
I'd consider it good practice to format the card when changing phones anyway.
Greetings,
I transferred my Pictures and music from my old SanDisk ultra 64GB micro SD card to my new Samsung Ultra + 128GB card. My first attempt at loading the data was through the restore function on the LG Bridge app from my PC. 3 day later when the restore was finished the phone indicated that the data was corrupted and had to be formatted. The second time I got a "file Corruption" message on my SD card when I was transferring files while both cards were in card readers. The next attempt was with the old card in the card reader, and the new card in the device, with the device connected to my laptop directly by USB, the end result being the Corrupted file message (again). My most recent attempt is by downloading files from my PC to my device card. Now the files are gone when I restart the device. The Music file in my folders are gone but the music outside of the folders are still present. All my pictures on my card are gone as well. ANY help is desperately needed and appreciated!!!
Did anyone have an answer to this? I'm having the same issue with my V30 - the files I copy to the external SD card by any means (AFT, SyncMate, FTP, SyncTunesMac) disappear...
I don't have good news for either of you that sounds like the sd card or the card port are going bad. Is it possible your ad cards are counterfeit as in does this behavior happen with another known good card...
I would try the following
First backup anything you can
Try a known good card that works in other devices and see if the behavior persists if yes
It is an issue with the phone not the card if the behavior stops you both got bum cards be more careful where you buy amazon is not even safe.
If the behavior persists try resetting the phone full factory. If custom Rom reload the rom. If the issue persists past that you most likely have a hardware issue that requires mainboard replacement.
Also try uploading files to the cards using the computer(with the micro sd to sd adapter) and check if the files stay(using the phone)
I had a similar issue with Moto G Turbo with Lollipop. It permanently damaged 2 MicroSD.
I ended doing a factory reset and MicroSD worked correctly again.
Counterfeit

By the above description, this is almost certainly a counterfeit sd card.
Google "H2TestW_1.4.zip" to test ANY card you buy before you ever use it.
It's a solid, lightweight program that does its job well.
Anything that says it will do the job better / faster is blowing smoke up your skirt.
I do need help as I can not resolve the issue with my SD card, actually this is the second SD card I bought (previously tried with Samsung Evo 256 Gbyte, now with Huawei 128 Gbyte one and it is the same - pity I threw away the first one). Actually when I copy files to it or try to open files on it, it shows the format is not supported, it could be movies, pdf files, or photos, even sometimes the ones that initially the card was able to read, after sometime suddenly it does not recognize it, I am sure it is Samsung problem, as this is the second time I have the same issue. I did everything possible, formatting, taking the card out and placing it again, formatting the card, you name it!
Can anyone solve this mystery?
Thank you

if you didn't buy them from authorized (samsung, huawei) then most probably they are fake
Maybe they are encrypted??
Sounds like u got a fake sd card from ebay.
Try using a micro sd adaptor and formatting with a PC. Also try a read/write on a PC.
Then you'll find out if the card is faulty/fake or not.
